The crankbait bite was definitely on today. And when they hit, there's just no doubt. The KVD 2.5 Squarebill was perfect for the situation...and the Fire Craw pattern is always a good bet! I would line up about 10 feet off shore and cast laterally to the shoreline. As soon as that crankbait started bouncing on the rip rap, hold on! I was also having some great success with a Texas Rig in slightly deeper water. (10-15 feet)

Zero reaction bites—spent the whole day soaking a Senko right on any riprap banks we found for good success. Pitched a bigger size Senko to entice some bigger bites and it worked!
